One thing I'm noticing here on Mastodon (mostly through observing experience of others, to be fair) is that there seems to be a point at which catering to people with, let's call it, overly-particular needs seems to embolden those people to foist those needs onto others and it devolves into a mess of opinions real fast.
One of the reasons Trader Joe's is successful is that they limit choices.
Do you really need to have two dozen varieties of peanut butter? Probably not. So they just stock a few. Gets people in-and-out very quickly, makes the stores smaller, and it's a very enjoyable experience for many despite being objectively quite limited.
Choice-overload is a real thing, and I think those steering this ship need to sit with that for a while.
@TechConnectify Costco, famously, as well
@b_cavello Well, except their stores aren't exactly well-known for being small and easy-to-navigate :)
@TechConnectify ahh, good point. (I actually tend to find the layout of Trader Joe’s confusing, but maybe if I went more frequently, that wouldn’t be the case 
)
@b_cavello They definitely vary from location-to-location quite a bit, but once you go to the same one a few times I think you get a good sense of where everything is.
You can basically cover my store's entire footprint with five aisle-laps, but it's an older and small location.
